Next up is this mass of chaos marines painted up as night lords. I truly do not remember my dad having this many guys, lol. Many of them have fun mutations from the old chaos mutation sprue, something I wish there was a modern version of.

A great number of 3rd edition-era plastic chaos space marines, painted as night lords. Many have mutated chaos arms and demonic heads instead of normal helmets.

A chaos space marine with a mutated slaaneshi crab claw arm. He has a bare head with a single large horn protruding from his forehead.

A chaos space marine with a mutated green tentacle arm instead of a normal arm. Dark eldar spikes have been added to his shoulder to make it spikier.

A chaos space marine with a mutated demonic arm which is splitting off at the elbow to form an extra limb with pointy and nubby spikes. His head is bare and has two red horns protruding from the top.

Sure am glad I own a light box instead of just sticking the model under my lamp in midair and getting a much better photo of bare resin

Made some progress on this old Thousand Sons buddy :) I gotta say, I am really impressed by how microset / microsol can make a decal work on any surface - these shoulderpads are pretty beat up #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #oldhammer

A rogue trader-era thousand sons chaos space marine mini for warhammer 40k. It is painted blue with steel and copper metal accents and yellow trim. The loin cloth has been painted yellow with a blue icon of Tzeentch freehand, after a reference image I found.

Day 5 is a reminder for myself to be more careful about how I do subs because my god that was a lot of layered cloth. Regardless, this is still my favorite of the unit so far!

A few more metal guys… I do want to strip and repaint a lot of these, so they are getting a simple green bath along with some of my old dark eldar to test the effectiveness. Goobertown Brent did a video years ago about stripping Testors enamel paint with this stuff, hope it works!

Two more 90s-era metal chaos space marines: a champion with plasma pistol and chainsword, and an icon bearer with a chaos undivided icon. Both are painted in a vaguely night lords kind of scheme.

The chaos champion mini, along with two dark eldar warriors, displayed next to a bottle of Simple Green cleaner.

The minis from the previous picture have been placed in a plastic takeout tub and covered with Simple Green cleaner to (hopefully) help with stripping the testors enamel paint that we painted minis with in my youth.

Taking pictures of what I've painted:

This pair of Dungeon Meshi anime figures probably come in at the 2nd and 3rd largest miniatures that I've painted. I really am proud of the look of the food as well as my metallic armor (with no metallic pigmented paint) and the texture I brought into it all

Painted anime figures of the dwarf Senshi and the human Laios from Delicious in Dungeon. Both with pots of food made of monsters and shiny armor

The side view of Laios and Senshi showing off the non optimal angles of the models but still cool imho

The backs of the dwarf and human one showing the color I painted into the dwarf Senshi's hair and the other of Laios' armor

Metal chaos marines from around the same time. I love how much variety there is across these guys, their more snout-like masks, and other design elements that don’t really ever appear again. Really looking forward to painting these.

Metal 1996 chaos marine featuring a tube running from the rebreather to the belt, suspended-like tubes on either side, and bone trinkets worn as a necklace. The helmet is skull-like. Painted a dull red, wielding a chain axe and bolt pistol.

Metal 1996 chaos marine with assault weapon one of two - this one has a plasma gun. He has an elongated mask with big horns that gives him a bit of a minotaur look. Painted dull red and black.

Metal 1996 chaos marine with assault weapon two of two - this one has a flamer. He has an elongated mask with big horns that gives him a bit of a minotaur look. Painted dull red and black.

Metal 1996 chaos marine with plasma pistol and chain axe, held forward like a fork and knife at the dinner table. He has an elongated mask with big horns that gives him a bit of a minotaur look. Painted dull red and black.

I officially received my 1st dan black belt in #blanchitsu today. These are the Moderin figures, painted on commission for John's personal collection. Great sculpts from @brass0_0monkey and both a joy to paint, and an honour to do for an artist who has inspired my work.

Getting back to chaos, we have this group of eight, the “grey guys”. All are the same 1996 plastic chaos kit (set of 2) with a thousand sons veteran shoulder pad, which @schneety.bsky.social helped identify. It’s a weird fish!

I’m not sure if they were meant to be tsons or if it’s coincidence.

Eight plastic chaos space marines painted in gray, olive, and brown colors. They all have red horns, bolters, and a veteran shoulder pad with a scary deep-sea fish emblem. Some also have bolt pistols and wield both guns simultaneously.

A closeup of one of the previously mentioned chaos marines.

“Pride cometh before the fall”. I finally got Lucius the Eternal done as another big part of my EC army. I dragged my feet on this one because of the complexity of it but I’m really happy with the end result. I decided to go buck wild with bright colours. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Lucius the Eternal. Chosen mortal champion of the Dark Prince. Draped in the pink purples and tarnished golds of the Emperor’s Children legion. Angle 1

AP Fanatic :) Undercoat with matte white until you have a consistent base layer, and then a layer or 2 of daemonic yellow.

Since I played mostly DE in 3rd edition 40k, I had also picked up some of the metal eldar ships and painted them to look a little more dark eldar-y. All but one of these flight stands snapped, unfortunately.

Five metal eldar battlefleet gothic ships, painted black and red. The flight stands are painted to look like space / stars.

So, a few glamour shots while I'm trying to figure out how to video this entire army...

First the Saturnine Praetor. Finished incredibly quickly using the same basics as the rest of the army, just a couple highlights on the gold and silver marks the method as different.

(Oh boy, white balance!)
